Summary

The National Portrait Gallery is paying an unprecedented compliment to the photographer Cecil Beaton, with an exhibition of 700 of his portrait photographs. This is the first photographic exhibition ever held at the Gallery, and what a show it is - pictures of the great and famous. Pride of place, however, goes to Beaton’s latest and most striking photographic portrait of the Queen.
